Case Studies

University of Manchester case study: Qualitative pre-registration and protocols

Examples of open research practices

Open Methods and Open Outputs: The Education Endowment Foundation funds Randomised Controlled Trials of educational interventions following a set of principles to ensure rigorous, high quality evaluations. Interventions are conducted by independent evaluators rather than the team that developed the intervention. All trials are registered and the evaluation protocol (including power analysis) is published in advance. All trial findings are published on the EEF website, regardless of the outcome of the trial.
